• Display the Properties dialog box when you click the icons on the desktop, but does not work

  I use windows vista. This morning after a normal start, any time I click on a desktop icon to open the properties of this program, but not the program itself. What happens to all the icons.

  Hi AmyWilliams,

  1. you remember to make changes to the computer before this problem?

  2 are you able to open the program when you right-click on it and select open?

  Step 1:

  You can check the following link and try to run the Fixit and check:

  Difficulty of broken desktop shortcuts and common system maintenance tasks

  Step 2:

  Given that this issue has started recently, you can also try a system restore and check.

  You can try to perform a restore of the system to a prior restore point you have been affected by the issue.

  Note: When you perform the system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

  To run the system restore, you can consult the following link:

• the desktop icons do not work

  All the icons and even folders do not work when I click on them.  If I right click on the icon or the folder it open quickly as before.

  Is there an associated process that should run to facilitate icons to work?

  Hi DelZavala,

  There are several things to try, and I recommend doing them in the order presented.

  If you can access the internet somehow, if you use XP, go to http://www.dougknox.com/xp/file_assoc.htm and scroll to the EXE and click, or double-click it to run the program to restore EXE file associations. Once done, do the same for LNK entry. That should restore your programs.

  If it does not (although it does in general), try the following article (which is essentially what precedes, but made by hand): http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923077.

  Try a clean boot in XP http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310353 and http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316434. If the problem goes away then it's just a matter of tracking down the culprit at the origin of the problem. Follow the procedures described in the article. Once found, remove, delete, disable or uninstall. Once don't forget to reset your system back to the normal state, as described in the procedures. If the problem occurs in clean mode then just restore the system to normal and reboot - this solution will not work.

  If this problem started recently, try a system restore to a point before the problem.  Here are the steps for XP: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306084.

  I hope this helps. Otherwise, back post and we will look at in other less likely but possible options such as infection or corruption of system files - but I honestly think one of the above will do the trick for you.

  Good luck!

• BlackBerry Smartphones Upgrade causes the connection Bluetooth to the desktop software does not work

  I'm a business traveler road warrior who lives and dies by my BlackBerry synced with my laptop.  I just spent most of November on the road and worked hard the BB and laptop.  The two worked perfectly.  I was able to sync the BB to the laptop with Bluetooth or USB cable and not problems.  Since I was AT & T, I could use the BB as a modem for laptop and get 3G service everywhere wherever I was going.  Life was good back in the day... November 2010.

  Then... I get some downtime and decide to meet the guests of the BlackBerry software desktop that there are updates available for the desktop software and software of the device of 9000 "BOLD".  I decided that since I have no immediate need and criticism so I can update.  So I update.

  I updated the software to version 5. something to 6.0.0.43 version.  Once the software has been updated, I get a prompt to upgrade the 9000 to a new version of software for device.  So I move from 4.6.something to 5.0.0.82 2.

  I do a couple of synchronization with the USB cable and I feel good.  Then I try to sync using bluetooth.  No joy.  Unable to get the desktop software to see the Blackberry.  The 9000 "BOLD" connects to Windows 7 OK and I can even use the laptop as a speaker.

  So I go through the "Add bluetooth device" menu and office procedures.  During the search of a device discoverable bluetooth, the 9000 "BOLD" is so I clicked and respond OK.  Then I went back to the Bluetooth Configuration screen where nothing appears.  I can't add the 9000 "BOLD" for Desktop software.  Something is not.

  Nothing is more exasperating to have everything to work perfectly, apply the updates recommended by the provider of the software, and then have things get broken and stop working.  Before after the Desktop software prompts to upgrade, I worked flawlessly.  After you apply the upgrade of Desktop software and device software upgrade, I can not connect with Bluetooth.

  I searched on the Internet until I no longer have to read in order to find a solution but can't seem to find a solution.  Maybe I'm just angry with RIM and these horrible upgrades that utility that I really liked.

  Let me answer a few questions before someone decides to help him.

  Is your BlackBerry detectable, so she can be found and associated with?  Yes, I updated the device discoverable.

  You can pair your BlackBerry with Windows 7 64 bit?  Yes.  No problem.  I can use the laptop running Windows 7 64 bit as a speaker with the BB.

  Could you have made other changes that may have caused the problem?  Nope.  I did not follow the guidelines of RIM in updgrading Desktop software and device software.  I suppose that, in this case, I followed the destruction of the RIM.

  You do backup your BlackBerry 9000 "BOLD" before upgrading the device software?  Yes.  I'm not stupid and don't trust any upgrade for the exact reasons, I'm writing on this forum.

  You have a Windows 7 restore set where you can go back to a point in time before you upgraded the Software Desktop 5 point. something to 6.0.0.43?  Yes.  I have a restore point.

  Do you have confidence that you can do both a restore of Windows 7 to get something back to 5. AND then to restore the device to 4.6.something?  Man, that thought makes me sick at heart.  I trust both RIM and MSFT to do their work and we know that RIM was screwed up, or I wouldn't be here today.

  Can anyone help with obtaining of BlackBerry Desktop Software 6.0.0.43 (updated 5.something) version to see and the pair with a BlackBerry 9000 "BOLD" which had 6.0.0.43 improve software 4.6.something to 5.0.0.82 device 2?

  It is confirmed.  5.0.0.82 2 is total c * p.  Who knows what complete insanity due to RIM out a such terrible and wounded many customers update.

  I was able to downgrade from 5.0.0.82 2 to 4.6.0.304.  Compatible bluetooth and connected seemlesly, even if the connection has been very sloew the order of minutes of time to the Desktop Manager.

  Here are the instructions to downgrade.

  1 remove the newer operating system of your PC by going to control panel > Add/Remove programs.

  2. next, download and install the earlier version of the operating system. BlackBerry operating system downloads

  Find here the operating systems:

  http://BlackBerryFAQ.com/index.php/BlackBerry_Operating_System_Downloads

  3. install the older operating system to the computer by running (double click) the downloaded file.

  4. go into c:\program files Research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml."

  (I had to look for vendor.xml as I have Windows 7, but when I found and deleted things work as described).

  5. plug in the BB and double-click on "Loader.exe." It is located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file.

  These instructions worked like a charm.  Connected to Desktop Manager and did a sync as soon as the 9000 "BOLD" restarted.  Apparently, the problem was my stupidly following the recommendation to upgrade the operating system to 5.0.0.82 2.

• The text on the Windows Paint program icon does not work

  I use Vista and do not know if this is the reason why the text icon does not work. All other icons work. Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

  Hi bipsvic,

  Since when are you facing this problem?
  If it works well before?

  I suggest that you want to run the file system (CFS) Checker scan that might help you to solve the issue.
  To determine if the problem you are experiencing is caused by one or more system files that are used by Windows Vista, run the System File Checker tool. The System File Checker tool analyzes the system files and replaces incorrect versions of system files by using the correct versions.

  To run the System File Checker tool, follow these steps:

  1. Click Start and type cmd in the box start the search.
  2. right click on cmd in the list programs and then click Run as administrator.

  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue
  3. at the command prompt, the following line, and then press ENTER:
   sfc/scannow

  When the analysis is complete, test to see if the problem you are experiencing is resolved. If the problem you are experiencing is not resolved, use the procedure that is described in the section "the System Restore tool.

  Follow the instructions in the link below for more information on scan SFC.
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/936212/

  Check whether the problem is resolved.

  If this does not work, you can try to create the new user account by following the instructions in the link below and check if it works.

• 8600 desktop icon does not

  After a Windows 8.1 update, the icon on the desktop to my Office Jet 8600 has stopped working.  I uninstalled the drivers and then installed the drivers.  I've used all the avaiable trobleshooting assistants and they all claim that everything is installed properly.  The icon is the gateway to fax and scanning my PC without having to go through the printer.  Unfortunately, the installation disk is for windows 7 and is of no help to 8.1.  Thanks in advance...

  Hello GTR81,

  I understand your Officejet 8600 icon on the desktop does not work after upgrade to Windows 8.1. I will do my best to help you! I noticed that you said in your previous post that you have three copies of this software on your computer.

  You have three copies of the Officejet 8600 in devices and printers or where exactly on your computer? I recommend you clean this software. Follow these steps:

  Please follow this HP document uninstalling the software of the printer. When it finished, I would like you to clean your Temp folder on your computer:

  (1) on the keyboard, press the Windows key and press 'R' together, then click on, and then type % temp % enter.
  2) press Ctrl and together on your keyboard (this will highlight all). Right-click with your mouse and select Delete.

  Now, perform a clean boot on your computer by following this Microsoft document here. This will eliminate the conflicts of software that occur when you install a program or an update or when you run a program.

  If your desktop icon does not work yet, I would recommend that you run this patch of this document from HP opens Assistant HP printer with an error in Script or in Notepad.  I know that you do not receive a script error, but this patch can help if your printer Assistant loading is not. I will seek forward at the hearing on your part have a good night!

  Looks like you may have a virus or other malware. Get your updated antivirus program and boot into Safe Mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan in Safe Mode. To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode. Then run a complete system scan.

  If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.

  -

  You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type CMD in the search box, right-click on CMD. EXE and click run as administrator. Then, from the command prompt type sfc/scannow.

  -

  Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log. To make, click Start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools. Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.

  `

  When you get your system in good working condition, I invite you to back up your system up to an external hard drive and make it regular periodic updates.

  I hope this helps. Good luck.

• on registration of the desktop icons are not displayed

  Registration using Windows XP, the desktop icons do not appear.

  You see only your background image and the wallpaper?

  Miss all your desktop icons and you don't see the taskbar at the bottom of the screen or are simply missing icons and you can see the taskbar at the bottom?

  Check the simple things first.  Right-click on an open space on your desktop, choose Arrange icons by and make sure the option show desktop icons has a check mark next to it.  This will work if you don't miss you that the desktop icons, but still see the Start button and the taskbar.  If you are missing as the Start button and the taskbar, which isn't your problem.

  If only you can see your wallpaper background picture and don't see the desktop icons and no start button or taskbar, this means that the explorer.exe program does not run (and it must be running) or the explorer.exe program are usually afflicted.  A good way to think about at the moment, it is that the process explorer.exe "is" your desktop.

  If this is the case of malware in general prepares.

  What is your system brand and model?

  What is your version of XP and the Service Pack?

  You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

  Sometimes your anti malware program to quarantine (and indeed remove) your file explorer.exe (or other critical files on the XP system) if it finds that the file is infected.  The file may really be infected, but you can know for sure and then reconsider your anti malware options.

  First, you need to get your work desk in order to have room for manoeuvre, then you can solve your problem of potential malware.

  Of your background image, press Ctrl-Alt-Del and open Task Manager.

  Look at the processes tab and if the process explorer.exe is not running, start it as follows:

  In Task Manager, click file, new task, and in the Open box, enter:

  %windir%\explorer.exe

  Click OK and see if get you your office.  If you get an error, we need to know what it says.

  If explorer.exe is already running in the processes tab, it is likely that the object of the affection and will need to be replaced (which is not difficult).

  If you notice that the explorer.exe process is already running in the Task Manager, highlight the explorer.exe process, and then click end process to stop and start a new explorer.exe process as described above.

  If things look right now, your system is still not fixed, but it should be enough usable so now you can fix it.

  I would start with these scans:

  Perform scans for malware first, then these scans by operating clean, difficulty of problems:

  Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:

  Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
  SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

  They can be uninstalled later if you wish.

  Please report back with information about your system and your results if you need additional assistance.
